Empress dowager, the queen sighed

Complacent, Pei Yao approached her face with a hoarse voice: "Mmm."

Li Lexi smiled, without making a sound, pushed Pei Yao away to wash.

In the afternoon, the old lady of the Zhao family came, and Pei Yao hurriedly changed clothes to meet her. Seeing the old man staggering at the gate of the courtyard, she smiled, "Grandmother."

"Yo, it's rare to hear you call me." The old lady squinted her eyes and kept smiling.

Pei Yao walked over, helped the old lady into the house, and looked behind her, except for a few maidservants, there was no one else around.

She brought the old lady into the house, served tea with green bamboo, and the grandparent and grandson sat down together.

"I won't play around with you anymore. Your uncle wants you to go back to Luoyang. It's not good to stay on the mountain." The old lady said bluntly.

Pei Yao asked someone to bring some snacks, she said: "I will definitely go back when I go back, and live for a few days."

The old lady looked at her: "Aze is dead, you are the only child of the Pei family, I don't need to say more about the situation, it would be good for your mother if you go back earlier."

Two of the three children in the Pei family died, leaving only the one who was abandoned at the beginning and left alone. One can only imagine how hard it would be for Mrs. Zhao.

"I won't go back to see her. Even if I go back to Luoyang, I will find another house. She is the queen." Pei Yao also learned the tone of yin and yang.

The old lady patted her on the head, "What about the queen, that's your mother."

"Do you think General Pei will have a son?" Pei Yao smiled lightly, Pei Sui was only 40 years old, and it would be the easiest for a concubine to have a son.

But Mrs. Zhao has no son.

Old lady Zhao frowned, Pei Yao was reminding her.She changed her gentle expression and said: "Even if there is, it has nothing to do with you. Your identity is announced to the world. No one can shake it."

"Grandmother, don't you believe in the saying that a woman is the emperor and brings disaster to the country and the people?" Pei Yao asked directly.

The old lady smiled back, "I've come this far, do I still believe this?"

She touched the back of Pei Yao's hand, and said earnestly: "Don't try me, just do it if you have the ability, the Zhao family supports you, if you can't support Ah Dou, the Zhao family will survive."

If they have the ability, they will help them with all their strength. If they have no ability, the Zhao family will find their own way out, and there will be no distinction between men and women.

Pei Yao frowned, "Understood, I will go back down the mountain in a few days."

Pei Yao was afraid that Miss Li would be embarrassed if she went back now, after all, she is now the empress dowager of the previous dynasty, and in the new dynasty, she is an ordinary citizen, so it is very inconvenient.

After hearing the accurate reply, Mrs. Zhao's expression eased a lot, "Alright, I'll go back. When I came, your aunt prepared some snacks for you. You can eat more if you like."

The old lady left, leaving behind a table full of snacks, Pei Yao opened them one by one, and took away a box of candies.

Go to the back room and pass the candy to Miss Li, "Try?"

"Don't eat." Li Lexi didn't even look at it, what's so delicious about candy.

Pei Yao didn't know what was wrong with her, so she picked up a piece of candy and fed it to her, "You, you eat one, I'm afraid it might be poisonous, why don't you try the poison for me."

Li Lexi sighed, and tapped her forehead lightly with his hand, "You're smart."

Pei Yao felt aggrieved, leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips lightly, her eyes were filled with affection, and she just looked at her like this.

Li Lexi glanced at the candies in the box. They were of different colors. She picked one and put it in her mouth. It tasted very sweet, and the nectar taste was even more intense.

It's crunchy sugar that crunches to pieces.

After eating one, Li Lexi pushed up the lid of the box, frowned and said: "It's not delicious, Aijia will make it for you."

"You know how to do it?" Pei Yao was instantly attracted by her last words, squinting her eyes and smiling mildly.

Li Lexi patted her on the forehead, "Ai's family went down the mountain to buy ingredients, you wait."

She went out, and the snacks were still on the table. She took a look and called Ruoyun: "Take it and bury it in the back mountain."

Ruoyun's expression changed drastically, and he didn't dare to hesitate, so he called Qingzhu, and the two of them worked together to put away all the cakes on the table, and transported them to the back mountain.

Pei Yao didn't feel it, she was lying on the couch reading a book, happily.

Miss Li went down the mountain, walked into the market, and walked to a woman's stall, who warmly entertained her.

"what are you looking for?"

Li Lexi looked at the sauces on the booth, remembered Pei Yao being cheated, and smiled, "Is there any sugar?"

"Yes, yes, my daughter made it, it's fresh, what do you want?" The woman looked at the delicate fabric on Li Lexi's body, and knew that he was rich.

Li Lexi ordered a few things, her eyes fell on the candied haws on one side, and she reached out to take two skewers, and saw that there were other candies skewered together, and the outer layer was wrapped in honey.

Misi wrapped candies around her in a unique style. She took a bunch of candy, ate a piece of candy, and said: "I have to take these, please send them to the nunnery to Mrs. Jing'an."

After giving the order, he gave the money, and before leaving, he said: "If you dare to be short of money, you will smash your shop when you come back."

"No, no, I won't." The woman was frightened by the other person's eyes and her legs became weak.

Li Lexi didn't argue with her anymore, but got on the horse and returned to Luoyang with the sugar box.

She delayed for some time, and arrived at the gate of the Zhao residence almost at the same time as the carriage of the old lady of the Zhao family.

There was an endless stream of people in front of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, all of whom came to pay their respects. Once it was prosperous, everyone wanted to be a part of it.

Li Lexi's horse stopped, and she was about to enter the mansion with the box in her hand. The guards in the mansion stopped her, and before she could get close, she was kicked far away.

Everyone at the door stopped, and the old lady Zhao who got out of the car was even more surprised. She looked at the back of the picky eater, "May I ask who you are?"

Li Lexi still had a candy box in her hand, she recognized it at a glance, her heart skipped a beat, "You, what did you do to A Yao?"

"Dare to ask, where did this candy come from? Zhao's family style doesn't seem to have been given to anyone. Poison." Li Lexi turned around slowly, with piercing eyes, and took a step towards the old lady.

The old lady recognized her, and her face turned pale with fright: "Mother, Empress Dowager."

"The Ai family will not be the empress dowager for a few days, and the Zhao family will dare to kill?" Li Lexi smiled, took out a candy from the candy box and handed it to the old lady, "Do you want to eat one? "

The old lady took half a step back, not daring to pick it up, "Candy, candy, isn't it right? Then, did Ayao eat it?"

"Where did the sugar come from?" Li Lexi asked softly, with the horsewhip in his hand wrapped around the sugar box.

The old lady did not dare to say that the candy was made by her daughter-in-law, so she hurriedly said, "Please come into the mansion to talk."

Li Lexi stepped into the mansion, but the guards didn't dare to stop her, the old lady was scared out of her wits, and asked people to hurry to invite the eldest lady to the main hall to pick up the guests.

The eldest lady came in a hurry, she felt something was wrong before entering the hall, she stepped over the threshold cautiously, "Old lady, you are looking for me."

"It's nothing, just ask where the candy you gave A Yao came from?" The old lady's expression softened, she already understood that the Zhao family was being used as a knife, if Pei Yao ate the candy, the whole Zhao family would be ruined .

Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said: "It was given by the queen. She wanted to get closer to Ayao, so she asked me to bring the candy to her. Ayao likes to eat it?"

Mrs. Zhao was dizzy, "Are you sure?"

"You're joking, how can such trivial things go wrong, I will remember."

"That's how it is." Li Lexi smiled, and left with the candy box without further entanglement.

The old lady clutched her chest and pointed at the eldest lady: "Do you have a brain? You have been used."

The eldest lady didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and she didn't know who the woman who just walked out just now was. She asked with a smile: "It's just a box of candy. It was given to the daughter by the mother. Could it be poisonous? A Yao is the only daughter of the queen. What are you afraid of?"

The old lady gouged out the eldest lady and wanted to scold but couldn't. It's human nature to see who it is. Now that the situation is unclear, one should be careful in doing things. She is not good at scolding, so she hurriedly said: "Quick, let the Prime Minister come back .”

Something is going to happen!

****

Li Lexi entered the palace and went directly to the Jiaofang Hall, but was stopped by the Imperial Forest Army before reaching the gate of the Central Palace.

The Imperial Forest Army was newly reformed and many of Pei Sui's personal guards were added. At first glance, they were all unfamiliar faces. Li Lexi glanced at them and pursed his lips into a smile.

"Ancestor, what are you doing here?"

After hearing the news, Bai Lishu rushed over, called back the imperial army, and walked up to Li Lexi, "Why don't you stay in your nunnery well, why come to the palace to provoke?"

"Kill." Li Lexi's brows and eyes were gentle, and what he said made people feel chills.

Bailishu's eyelids twitched, "Alone, can you get out?"

"So what, let's talk after killing." Li Lexi didn't care about Bailishu's persuasion, but instead asked her: "Can we calculate today?"

Bailishu was frustrated: "Forget it."

"How's your luck?" Li Lexi asked with a smile.

Bailishu stared at her: "As you wish."

"Then why don't you get out of the way?" Li Lexi asked with a smile, "The most shameless thing I do is poison."

Bai Lishu didn't waver, but seriously tried to persuade her: "Be sensible, you are the one who forced Pei Yao to die, to the point where her parents wanted her to die. Li Lexi, you are the main culprit."

"Really? I don't accept fate. Her life and mine are in my hands." Li Lexi took a step forward, with a smile on her lips, "You'd better cover your eyes, blood is dirty."

"I'll get out of the way, and you won't be able to get out." Baili Shu was very clear-headed. Putting poison in the sugar was her suggestion, but she didn't expect to be discovered so soon.

Maybe, down.Poisoning has no effect on the people around Li Lexi.

She smiled and moved out of the way, and the Imperial Forest Army swarmed forward.Remember how many members of the Li clan Li Lexi killed when Chu Yuan died.

The past is always repeating itself.

Bailishu asked: "If you kill her, Pei Yao will be sad."

Li Lexi is a lunatic, irrational.

When Pei Sui came, Li Lexi had already reached the entrance of the central palace, he hurriedly stopped him, "Miss Chu."

"Pei Sui, I taught you a trick, how to get out among thousands of people, how about I demonstrate it to you again today?" She chuckled and flaunted it wantonly.

Pei Sui walked over to stop her, "Master, why bother with her."

"I'm small-minded, so I like to care about things." Li Lexi smiled and refused his reconciliation, and the blood-stained Emperor Sword suddenly touched his chest, "Why don't you do it yourself, and I'll pretend nothing happened."

Pei Sui's eyes suddenly darkened, and the corners of his lips were pursed into a straight line. His heart suddenly ached because the master had shown him the kindness of rebuilding.

After a long time, he ordered Bailishu: "Give poison wine."

Bailishu was slightly surprised, a little confused, and asked softly, "Your Majesty?"

"Give poisoned wine and send Miss Chu out of the palace. From now on, she is not allowed to step into the palace."

Pei Sui shook his sleeves and left.

Li Lexi smiled.

When returning to the nunnery, I stopped by the book store to buy some soft paintbrushes to take back.

Pei Yao squatted in the yard to plant peach blossom trees, Master Jing'an gave a few peach blossom trees, saying that they grew up in front of the Bodhisattva in the front yard, they are very spiritual, and they will protect peace.

In the nunnery, she has to listen to her master. She rolls up her sleeves and grows by herself.

Add a spoonful of soil into the pit, and say a Bodhisattva's blessing in your mouth.

After the pit was filled with soil, he said again: "Bodhisattva remember to bless Pei Yao with a long life."

A sneer came from behind: "The hopeless little teacher is also afraid of death."

"You are not afraid of death, I am afraid of death." Pei Yao stood up, stomped on the pit with her foot, and then stopped until the pit was level with the ground, then squinted at Miss Li: "Where is my candy?" ?”

"Didn't Mrs. Jing'an send it?" Li Lexi asked, "I bought a lot at the foot of the mountain and asked someone to give it to Mrs. Jing'an. She should give it to you."

"Did you ask Mrs. Jing'an to give it to me?" Pei Yao tilted her head, her seniors and juniors are evil wolves, and they must be all over when they see Tang.

Li Lexi shook her head, "I didn't say that, she loves you so much, she will definitely give you food."

"You think too much, and you won't leave any sugar residue." Pei Yao was depressed, and poked her forehead with her hand: "Miss Li, Miss Li, you will also capsize in the gutter."

She made Li Lexi feel helpless, the world is unpredictable.

"I'll go get it back." Pei Yao handed the shovel to Miss Li, and walked out by herself.

After walking two steps, Li Lexi pulled her back, "No more, I'll buy it tomorrow."

Pei Yao corrected her: "Don't you do it for me tomorrow?"

"It's okay, I haven't made it for many years, it's very unfamiliar." Li Lexi said frankly, the lotus seed candy I made last time was too unfamiliar, which made it unpalatable.

I don't want to learn what I have learned, and slowly look for the feeling according to the original vague memory.

When it was getting dark, Jing An really came to deliver candy, a bunch of candied haws, a bunch of candy seeds.

Li Lexi frowned, and told Pei Yao: "The Ai family bought a lot, and they ate them all."

"Understood." Pei Yao picked up the candy and took a bite, leaning comfortably on the couch, glanced at the person reading from the corner of her eye, "Aren't you sleeping?"

"When you finish eating the candy, remember to rinse your mouth." Li Lexi reminded, thinking that Pei Yao is just a child, and told everything.

Pei Yao creaked and ate the candy quickly like a mouse, rinsed her mouth with water, and dragged Li Lexi to bed involuntarily.

Lights out.

After waking up overnight, Li Lexi was gone. Pei Yao was lying on the bed, squinting her eyes, touching her side, the quilt had already cooled down.

It's been a long time since I left.

Pei Yao got up to wash up and have breakfast, the mountain is not as exquisite as the palace, Pei Yao always eats chicken shredded noodles every day, as soon as she ate a bowl of noodles, the Zhao family rushed to the mountain to spread the word.

"The queen is dead."

Pei Yao didn't understand at first, so she took a bite of the shortbread and asked, "Which queen?"

Qingzhu carefully reminded her: "It's your mother."

Pei Sui ascended the throne a few days ago, the name of the country is Wei, and his wife, Zhao, is made the queen, following the official system of the Han Dynasty without any changes.

"Why did you die?" Pei Yao was a little surprised, Zhao's body was not bad, why did she die just after taking the queen's seat.

"Returning to Your Highness, it was a sudden death."

Pei Yao recalled the word "sudden death", she didn't speak for a long time, she ate her breakfast slowly, and told Ruoyun: "Take some plain clothes, you and Qingzhu will follow me down the mountain, and the rest of you will stay on the mountain and wait for your master to come back."

After all, Mrs. Zhao is her biological mother. Although she is ruthless, she should at least wear mourning.

Ruoyun and Qingzhu went down, packed their bags quickly, and greeted Mrs. Jing'an in front, and the group went down the mountain.

The death of the mother of the country is considered a great funeral, and all the officials are not in charge. Mrs. Zhao's eyes are red from crying, and she regrets it very much. If she had known this before, she should not have gone to the nunnery.

When Pei Yao entered the mourning hall, several cousins ​​were crying, and the queen's two sisters supported the old lady, weeping endlessly.

Pei Yao wanted to squeeze a couple of tears, but after entering, she couldn't cry no matter what, so she stopped crying and walked up to comfort Mrs. Zhao.

The old lady Zhao stared at her without saying a word. She held her hand and shook her head. Mrs. Zhao quickly helped the old lady away and said, "His Royal Highness is back."

Pei Yao is the only Royal Highness Princess of Wei Dynasty.

Pei Yao sensed an undercurrent, she didn't point it out, and if she didn't want to speak, she wouldn't listen, there was nothing to pursue.

She nodded: "Aunt."

The old lady trembled at the sound of aunt, she didn't dare to look at Pei Yao, the hands supporting the old lady were trembling, she was afraid.

Pei Yao stayed in the mourning hall for a while, kowtowed and knelt down, doing everything she had to do, and only left the mourning hall when she had nothing to do.

After stepping through the palace gate, she saw Pei Sui leading a group of servants coming. She stood there without moving, watching from a distance.

When Pei Sui put on the dragon robe, her demeanor improved a lot. She walked with the wind, her cheeks glowed, and she smiled.

Pei Sui stopped in front of her, with deep eyes, and said, "You're back."

"You don't seem to welcome me very much." Pei Yao is not a fool, she is good at observing words and expressions, and Pei Sui has great resistance to her.

Pei Sui looked at the white banner in the mourning hall, and said: "You are not welcome, if you don't want to come back, it's fine."

Pei Yao is not a sentimental character, if an ordinary daughter is said so by her father, she will feel sad, but she didn't, even her expression didn't change, she looked down at her feet, and said: "When you canonize the prince, I will will be back."

"Princess?" Pei Sui sneered, gritted his teeth and said two words, he turned around and looked at Pei Yao: "Are you worthy?"

Pei Yao thought for a while: "I'm not the one with the keys."

Pei Sui just looked at her like this, with disgust on his face, he really couldn't be happy, because of Pei Yao, he lost many relatives, friends and subordinates, and now he couldn't even keep his wife.

He lost the last bit of father-daughter affection for Pei Yao.

If possible, he hoped that Pei Yao would figure it out by herself and never return to Luoyang for the rest of her life.

Pei Yao smiled lightly, "If you hate me, then I'll leave without obstructing your eyes."

She packed herself up, walked away without looking back.

After leaving the central palace, she walked slowly on the palace road. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she saw the damn Bailishu.

Bailishu was also wobbly, as soon as the two met, she laughed first, and Pei Yao cheered up: "What are you laughing at?"

Bailishu stopped in front of Pei Yao as he was walking, and looked at her: "His Royal Highness, Princess Xiao, is despised by her family and will be abandoned by her subjects in the future."

Pei Yao frowned, not angry, but curious: "Did you grow up eating shit, and your mouth is so stinky?"

Baili Shu wanted to grab her mouth again, "You're annoying too."

"Bully me again, and I'll let Miss Li kill you." Pei Yao snorted, feeling that Bailishu was inexplicably annoying. When she was young, she said her fate was unknown, but now she always wants to kill her.

"Your miss Li also wanted to kill me, but she never succeeded. Your Highness, you like her better than you like me. Chen knows more about style than she does, and will make you happy."

"Just you?" Pei Yao showed a look of disgust, especially when she saw the blue bubble on the top of Bailishu's head, she poohed mercilessly at him, "It's beautiful, my highness doesn't like you, I want to chop you up and feed the dogs."

Bai Lishu took two steps back after being sprayed by her saliva, and couldn't help wiping it off with a handkerchief, "Why are you so rough, it's so dirty."

"Don't let me see you hit you once, your butt won't hurt so soon?" Pei Yaoyang retorted, too lazy to talk to her, and was about to leave.

Bailishu was fearless, and reached out his hand to stop her, "Your Highness, Li Lexi is the culprit who prevented you from being able to reunite with your family."

"Are you a good thing?"

"I'm naturally a good guy..." Baili Shu stopped, why did Pei Yao curse so much, every sentence was more ugly, a little girl in the market.

She picked Pei Yao's hair slightly, "Your mouth is not clean, what did you eat to grow up?"

Pei Yao patted her hand away, "I grew up eating candy, my mouth is so sweet."

"Tsk tsk, my sister will take you to eat candy." Baili Shu touched his beaten hand, "Where did you get all my treasures?"

Pei Yao said: "Eat it, it's in my stomach."

Bailishu was surprised, "All, have you eaten?"

"I ate them all, and the feathers of those birds were pulled out. Miss Li made me a feather coat. It looks beautiful. I will lend you a look when I have time." Pei Yaoxiao smiled happily, and she also liked to look at Baili's clothes. It's so funny.

Bailishu couldn't bear it anymore, and walked back holding Pei Yao's hand, "I'm going to judge before His Majesty, Pei Yao, if I don't kill you today, I will write the words Bailishu backwards."

"Crazy woman, let go, I'm a princess..." Pei Yao struggled desperately, lowering her head to bite Bailishu's arm.

Baili Shu withdrew his hand in pain, raised his hand and knocked on the back of Pei Yao's head, the palace suddenly became quiet, and Pei Yao fell down softly.

Baili Shu stretched out his hand to catch it, and the palace servants and servants passing by all widened their eyes, took a breath, and fled in panic.

It's not right for Bailishu to pick up the hot potato, or not to pick it up. If Li Lexi knows that she hit Pei Yao, the trouble will be even greater.

Bailishu carried Pei Yao back to the National Teacher's Mansion, waiting for the little ancestor to wake up by himself.

****

Li Lexi returned to the back mountain, only to see Ruoxiang watering Pei Yao's newly planted peaches.

Ruoxiang explained what happened in the morning, watching her expression carefully.

"I'm going back to the palace." Li Lexi was not surprised, Pei Yao acted with discretion, Zhao Shi died, she would definitely show up, the word filial piety comes first, everyone has to think about it.

She went to take a bath and change clothes, ate some food, and went down the mountain to pick up Pei Yao.

As soon as she entered the Luoyang city gate, the spies came looking for her and told the situation in the palace in detail.

Li Lexi went to the National Teacher's Mansion instead.Bailishu likes Chu Yuan, but treats Pei Yao differently as a stepping stone.

Bringing Pei Yao back to the mansion at this time will definitely not do anything good.

Li Lexi dismounted at the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion, held the whip in his hand, glanced at the empty gate of the mansion, saw that there was no one there, and quickly raised his foot.

Kicked open the mansion door.

The door of the mansion opened, and she glanced behind her again, but there was still no one there.

She tidied up her skirts slowly, and walked gracefully into the National Teacher's Mansion.

As dignified as ever.

The author has something to say: Li Lexi: Remember, the door is opened by oneself, not kicked by Aijia, Aijia wants face!
